Wade must be shaking his fist at the clouds somewhere
I do not mean to pick on you specifically Hallstar, my post is directed toward the "Wade was ripped off" narrative. I'm just using your post to talk about it, don't take it personal.
But Wade's a giant crybaby and he has become so unlikeable I don't even talk about him anymore. The good Christian son that bought his momma a Church with his first big money paychecks, is long gone.
The Heat paid Wade market value all the damn time.
- He got his normal rookie contract
- Then when his rookie deal was up, he got the exact same contract Lebron got
- Then 2010 came around, and he once again was given the MAX
- However Lebron, Wade, Bosh, took a little less so they could play together. Then Wade wanted Haslem, so he took like 2 mil less on top of that if I remember.
That's it. That's all that happened. By the time 2014 came around, Wade was still under contract, but his knees were totally shot, and he was unreliable missing games and could not even play well in some critical playoff games due to knee injuries.
So Wade could have kept his 2014 contract, but he decided to opt-out, then got cucked by Lebron as he watched Lebron leave him and go to CLE.
Now, Wade, with broken knees and unreliable recent history, decides to muscle Riley for max money again? Putting up disrespectful social media posts and ****? When even his own "brother" Lebron left him because he thought he was washed up? After all Riley and Wade been through, Wade sides with Lebron and straight up calls pat names.
Sorry man.
But I put up a Alonzo Mourning statue before I put a Wade one up. This is Dade County again. Wade can go F off in chicago.
